Chip8 Emulator

(1/3) > >>

gerbetta:
Hello all! I was browsing the plugins that rockbox offers and I found an emulator called "Chip8."

Apparently it has all of the classics, like pong, tank, and such, and I would very much like to have this on my ipod. However, I have no clue how to put it, or the games on there.

I downloaded 2 game files called GAMES.zip and SGAMES.zip

I have extracted the files and I don't know what to do with them from here. Do I have to create some sort of folder called "chip8" and put them in there as is, or what?

I use a 1st gen iPod nano. Thanks in advance for the help

This should give you enough info to get started: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodnano/rockbox-buildch11.html#x14-23700011.3.2

Thanks alot Chronon, but I'm still confused on how to put them on my ipod. Do I just create a folder under .rockbox as in

H:\Chip8

or

H:\.rockbox\chip8

and do I just copy the games directly to it, and where do I put the Text file, or do I even need those?

AlexP:
Put the games wherever you want, navigate to them in the filebrowser, then "play" them

torne:
Someone who tried chip8 recently was complaining that many games seemed not to work or ran too fast; could you report whether it works for you? :)

As well as what the other posters have said, the games need to be called something.ch8 for rockbox to know which viewer to open them with.
